I had thought when I first bought that Bobs Red Mill that it was a soup mix. But it is not. So to make one batch I use one cup and a half of Bobs dry mix. 5 cups water, four cubes bullion, (you can use either chicken or beef), one cube onion soup base. Add some dried onion flakes, dried celery flakes and a bay leaf. Cook till the peas and such are as soft as you like. I like them to be totally mushed up. But it tastes SOOOO GOOD.

Ive never seen cubes of onion soup base. Wonder if thats basically the same as a packet of liptons onion soup mix. I never thought about dried onion and celery flakes. I was going to saute some onion and celery, but the dried would make it even easier.

A packet of onion soup mix would be way too much. Your not trying to make onion soup, just add flavor. But use your imagination. All you need to do is flavor the mix. You could use canned chicken stock instead of the cubes. You can cook up the fresh onion and celery like you want to do. It would all be good.
